In this channel you can get insights into the Geography Laboratory facilities at the University of Zurich. If you arrange podcasts alphabetically, you will find them in a logical order from sample preparation to more specific types of analyses. For questions and comments, please contact guido.wiesenberg@geo.uzh.ch.

In our laboratory, soil texture (fine sand, silt and clay) can be analysed using sedimentometry with the Sedigraph instrument. Spectrophotometers are used for plant…
-
The analyses of burning residues via BPCAs and plant pigments can be done after extraction and purification via our HPLC systems that have specific setups for these…
-
This laboratory fulfills a lot of different demands to freeze-dry samples as well as preparation of samples for texture analyses by ultrasonic dispersion. Further, we…
-
The organic geochemical analyses of samples requires proper preparation of extracts and separates of samples, which is done in dedicated laboratories, before gas or…
-
The samples that are produced in the MICE facilities are enriched in specific stable isotopes. To avoid cross-contamination with natural abundance stable isotope…
-
There are multiple devices that can be used in the laboratory and during field work. In this podcasts you see just three devices that can be used for different purposes…
-
Adequate field equipment is the base for highly sophisticated laboratory analyses. Therefore, we have several options to prepare soil profiles or we can also collect…
-
Specifically, within our laboratory classes we analyse soils for their nutrient composition which requires extraction of the nutrients followed by reflectometric…
-
Several types of analyses are necessary to characterize the mineralogical and chemical composition of soil samples. For this purpose, we perform the analyses or diffused…
-
One specialty of our laboratories is the preparation of samples for the natural abundance analyses of different radionuclides. In this laboratory, we prepare samples for…
-
One specialty of our laboratories is the preparation of samples for the natural abundance analyses of different radionuclides. In this laboratory, we have one fume hood…
-
We use our largest laboratory for sample preparation and the analyses of inorganic geochemical as well as physical soil and sediment properties such as grain size…
-
In this weighing room we have one analytical and one microscale to weigh in, e.g., standard materials for different purposes.
-
One of our two weighing rooms equipped with two analytical scales for high precision weighing. In the other laboratories, we have multiple scales for weighing in…
-
We can sieve, mill or break down rock, soil and plant samples within this laboratory in the basement of our building. As this room is located close to the sample archive…
-
The two self-made climate chambers are entirely computer-controlled and enable the manipulation of temperature, moisture, light, gas composition and further enable the…
-
On top of the characterization of bulk isotope compositions in samples, we are interested in the stable isotope composition mainly of hydrogen and carbon in different…
-
In this more specific podcast the sample preparation and analyses are described in more detail than in podcast 1.
-
Carbon and nitrogen concentrations as well as their stable isotope compositions are measured in the combination of our Flash HT Plus elemental analyser that is connected…
-
Sample storage is a very important issue to preserve unique samples or special samples that can be used for follow-up experiments or projects. Depending on samples and…
